Catalogue Note

"The jokes came out of drawing the cartoons. I wanted to draw and I liked the way certain cartoons were drawn. So I decided to redraw the ones I liked. This was 1985. I was living in Los Angeles. I drew a lot of Whitney Darrow cartoons. He was actually a friend of Jackson Pollock... I picked out about a dozen jokes... Ones that were familiar, the ones that get retold, and wrote them out, by hand on small pieces of paper." Richard Prince
